Mr. Mohamed Ali of Egypt contacted the Izmir Dental Clinic, also known as Teras Dental, which has over 20 years of experience treating a variety of dental needs. Suffering from a broken front tooth and five missing teeth on the sides of his mouth, dentists in his native Egypt told Mohamed he needed crowns. Mohamed wanted to find the best dental clinic that would meet his needs without taking a big chunk out of his wallet.

Mohamed wrote a note to PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in the United States that offered information regarding dental clinics in Europe. Mohamed was mildly surprised when he received an immediate reply from the Izmir Dental Clinic explaining their treatment for ceramic crowns, the cost, and the fact that the Izmir clinic price included accommodations for a five-day stay in a comfortable hotel in the city of Izmir.

Jan, a Fort Collins, Colorado native found herself in a difficult situation after she was figuratively “fired” from by her third dentist. After accessing PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal developed by CEO Pramod Goel of Denver, Colorado, Jan researched her options and found several providers who could possibly help her obtain the quality yet caring dental care she was looking for. Jan eventually chose Wellness Dental, a state of the art and experienced dentistry clinic in Costa Rica.

What do Mohamed and Jan have in common? A desire for better health care, more choices and options, affordability, accessibility, and the desire to actually venture abroad for excellent, experienced, accredited, certified and affordable dental care. Growing numbers of international patients are venturing beyond borders for healthcare with success, satisfaction, and huge savings.

Many of us put our dental and oral hygiene at the bottom of the list when it comes to dental insurance, but then we find out something’s wrong and realize that instead of paying a relatively small deductible, we’re shelling out thousands of dollars for dental work.

This isn’t just about teeth whitening, but about cosmetic dentistry implants or a temporary dental bridge, dental bone implants, or the need to see dental implants specialists for a variety of reasons. It’s about needing partial dentures, lower dentures, or complete dentures, all of which may cost thousands of dollars before everything is said and done.

Rising medical and dental care costs prevent many individuals from seeking the services of a dentist, but inexpensive cosmetic dentistry can be had in convenient locations such as Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. 

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver, Colorado, offers a multitude of medical and dental resources for individuals around the world. Showcasing state of the art, world-class and certified dental facilities such as Wellness Dental Group, located in San Jose, Costa Rica, Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry in Cancun, Mexico, or Global Medical Group, located in Christ Church, Barbados are just a few of many excellent and highly regarded cosmetic dentistry facilities found South of the Border.

When it comes to the best dental surgery abroad, look for traditional dental care techniques and cosmetic dental procedures that are affordable yet provide the quality that every dental patient is looking for.

Have you ever had trouble finding a dentist you liked? Have you ever been “fired” by a dentist because he or she just didn’t seem to want to take the time or effort to treat your specific dental problems or issues? More people are finding themselves turned away from dental offices because their dental issues are too complex or too time consuming compared to reimbursement for such services.

Dental treatments in the United States are growing increasingly expensive, and individuals looking for traditional dental fillings, extractions, bonding, dental crowns or bridges or even more complex procedures such as bone grafts or dental cyst operations find that the costs of cosmetic dentistry are astronomical.

In the United States, a single tooth extraction may cost up to $650. Travelers venturing south of the border to Mexico, Costa Rica and even further south into Panama, Guatemala, Columbia or Argentina can save between 50% and 75% on the same dental procedures, with the same quality as those performed in the United States.

Dental medical facilities such as Wellness Dental, located in Costa Rica, or the Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry facility in Cancun, Mexico offer American and international patients superlative dental expertise at a fraction of the costs found in the United States.

Travelers to Italy, Turkey, and Thailand find excellent, world-class and JCI accredited dental facilities for treatments and procedures such as cosmetic dentistry veneers, dental crowns and bridges, mini dental implants, flexible dentures, custom dentures, and inexpensive cosmetic dentistry that offers choices and options to suit every need.

After experiencing repetitive dental procedures and extreme costs for those treatments in the United States, a Colorado woman grew concerned about her ability to find a dentist who could deal with her dental problems that didn’t lead her into bankruptcy.

After accessing PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal developed by CEO Pramod Goel of Denver, Colorado, she researched her options and found several providers who could possibly help her obtain the quality dental care she wanted.

The woman chose Wellness Dental, a facility in San Jose, Costa Rica, after researching their credentials. One of their experts was Dr. Delfin Barquero, a professor at the University of Costa Rica and a prosthodontics and dental esthetic expert with a private practice in San Jose in two Costa Rica locations in addition to being a member of the American Dental Association.

When all was said and done, she received over $20,000 of comparable dental work for a fraction of the cost (less than one quarter) in Costa Rica. She had received a free quote on what the trip, including medical care would cost, and she made travel arrangements through PlacidWay to travel to Costa Rica.

Whether you need dental implants, dental bridges, dentures, orthodontics, teeth whitening or cosmetic dentistry , affordable cosmetic dentistry is out there. Personal health care is all about choices, and providing accurate and reliable resources to individuals are round the world seeking more control over their health care as well as affordable treatments and procedures is the focus of PlacidWay.

As we all know, the cost of medical procedures is rising at a dramatic rate within the United States. Medical malpractice insurance for physicians and surgeons has driven medical costs for consumers through the roof. So, it’s not surprising that people are fighting back, and in an unusual way. A growing trend called medical tourism finds more Americans seeking medical help outside of the country. 

 

Traveling to another country to have a wide variety of procedures done has grown increasingly popular as costs for procedures continue to cause financial hardship and strain. If you haven’t really seriously considered traveling to another country to have your procedure done, you should. Traveling outside of national borders saves patients thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on various surgeries and medical procedures. In some cases, choosing to have surgery abroad costs about a tenth of what you’d pay for the same procedure in the U.S.

 

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, USA, offers medical travel and global medical tourism resources, information and facility descriptions and certification for international travelers seeking affordable yet quality medical care and services.

 

Surgical and medical facilities outside of the United States, including those in Asia, e.g., India, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia, and North American cross border countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Latin America; and Eastern Block/European countries such as Hungary, Norway, Poland, lure growing numbers of medical tourists with the best trained physicians, higher service standards and huge savings.

Did you know that in the United States, and depending on geographic location, average dental bonding costs roughly between $100 and $400 per tooth, though in most locations, the average ranges between $300 and $600 per tooth. In some cases, dental insurance may pay for partial or full costs, but always check policies to make sure. In locations such as India, dentists in Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa  may charge between $20 and $50 per tooth.

International destinations such as Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and other South American countries are popular with American citizens for their proximity, affordable and inexpensive cosmetic dentistry costs, and state-of-the-art and world-class facilities. Medical travelers to such destinations may save between 20% and 70% on the same cost charged in the United States, while enjoying the benefit of experience and expertise offered in such locations.

Dentists in Costa Rica, such as the Chaves Dental Clinic and ConfiSmile Dental Spa in New Delhi, India offer dental tourists the best in care for affordable pricing.

Antiaging treatments today consist of both medical as well as natural treatments and therapies. Everything from the latest techniques in thread lift surgical procedures to fat transfers to products that include human growth hormones, sprays and releasers are up for grabs. Natural as well as not-so-natural treatments for skin care and therapies, techniques and procedures to tighten the skin, enhance appearance and reduce unsightly wrinkles encourage a multibillion dollar industry. In addition to the benefits of daily exercise, adequate hydration, a balanced and nutritious diet and “youth in a bottle,” some of the most popular antiaging treatments include:

• Cosmetic and plastic surgeries
• Human growth hormone products
• Fat transfers
• Antiaging skin care products
• Diets rich in antioxidants
• “Antiaging” medications

The cost of antiaging treatments depends on the approach as well as the type of product or service chosen by any given individual. Antiaging creams and shelf products may cost anywhere between $20 and $75 or more per bottle, while thread lift surgical procedures cost around $3,000-$5,000 in the United States. Anti-aging and cosmetic and plastic surgical treatments are generally not covered under health care policies for American citizens, which leads many to travel south of the border, or to exotic destinations in Europe or Asia for affordable yet quality antiaging treatments. Individuals traveling to India, Thailand, Argentina, Costa Rica or Brazil in addition to the facilities found throughout Poland, Turkey and the Ukraine may save hundreds to thousands of dollars on antiaging treatments, procedures and programs.
